believe

Today's card is inspired by one of the tags posted by the lovely and talented Broni Holcrombe in this post, using the gorgeous snowflake tissue tape Tim Holtz recently released and a Sizzix sizzlit die set I recently acquired. Sometimes the displayed project used on a die is almost enough to make me not consider it; this is one of those cases. The picture on the die was real glitzy and shades of blues with a blue/purple glitter added to it - NOT my style. I did glitz up the dies a bit by adding a bit of gold tied into a bow thru the faux button. I have to admit it was more laziness than anything else. I know I have some twine about but couldn't locate it right away. Then I thought of grey perle cottons that I must have on hand (I used to needlepoint lots before I got hooked on card-making ... MUST get back to that! so many unfinished projects, so little time, y'know?!), but I was too lazy to go dig 'em up. Even the pewter snowflake eyelet was dissed - I'd have had to pull out my affixer thingy (technical term, here) and the circle punches were handy. So ... here's today's card! It's a bit distressed using Ranger's antique linen distress ink.
